The HTML entity value for that (Á) is: Á
Entities are basically, Ampersand, Hash, character code, semi-colon. You can use either decimal or hex for the character code. If using hex, just precede it with an x (like most programming languages). Octal can be unreliable with some browsers.

Hope that helps.

hint: you can use the character map program to find the character codes. Look in its status bar.

I think he's asking something different, Paul.

Providence: have you tried iso-8859-1 yet?

Adam is correct, this should be the proper encoding:

<meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=ISO-8859-1" />

You may also try: &Aacute; or as 4beer suggested: &#xC1;

If you're going international, UTF-8 is the only way to go
